Rachel brings great experience in communicating with clients who lack capacity. She is very clear in her approach and very personable. Rachel is also very good at communicating with staff.

‘I was very satisfied with the overall level of service received from Miles & Partners. They listened to what I had to say and kept me updated on the progress of my case. The information and advice provided was fairly easy to understand, considering my moderate learning disabilities.
I would specifically recommend Rachel Turner who was the lawyer on my case. Do not let Rachel Turner retire or change career paths. Rachel rocks – she is the best lawyer I have ever had, and that covers her role within the hospital, during discharge and arranging the section 117 aftercare support package.’
